HIPAA Breach
Information about HIPAA Breach
HIPAA Breach Notification Rule
The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, 45 CFR §§ 164.400-414, requires
HIPAA covered entities, and their business associates to provide
notification following a breach of unsecured protected health
information, as it could be harmful to those whose information has been
accessed. Similar breach notification provisions implemented and
enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), apply to vendors of
personal health records and their third party service providers,
pursuant to section 13407 of the HITECH Act.
The average cost of HIPAA Breach to an organization is $7.2 million.
When you consider the costs of damaged reputations, diminished consumer
confidence, and class-action lawsuits, the costs may be even much higher.
Why open your organization to this type of situation, when we can offer
you expert guidance and practical solutions? We will provide you with
the ideal products and services, including helpful checklists, and move
you to full HIPAA compliance.
HIPAA Privacy Rule changes mean increased penalties, frequent audits, following
HIPAA Breach. The HITECH Act enhanced patient rights,
but imposed technical and procedural burdens on entities which must
comply. Policies and procedures need evaluation, to ensure they meet the
requirements. Your policies will need modification, to meet the
new rules for access and accounting of disclosures, and new
restrictions on some disclosures that used to be allowed. New enforcement and audit requirements
need re-view too; they impact on non-compliance. InfoSight Inc. will
guide you on these matters.
InfoSight solutions can be specifically customized, to fit your level of risk, the type of
data exposed, the severity of any HIPAA Breach, and, of course, your budget. From discovery
